Work in Progress: Venutian Wetlands

World premiere at Reykjavík Arts Festival on 8 June 2026 in Harpa Concert Hall.

In Venutian Wetland, the flute septet appears—through sound and movement—as a self-organizing collective of coexisting lifeforms, bound to continuous transformation in a strange environment beyond earthly bounds. Invisible flows of matter move between them, reshaping their existence and driving the constant transformation of form, function, and shared being.

Venutian Wetlands is a new composition created for viibra by Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir and choreographer Margrét Bjarnadóttir. 

viibra is composed of flute players Áshildur Haraldsdóttir, Berglind María Tómasdóttir, Björg Brjánsdóttir, Dagný Marinósdóttir, Sólveig Magnúsdóttir, Steinunn Vala Pálsdóttir and Þuríður Jónsdóttir.

Presented by marvaða and Reykjavík Arts Festival. Supported by STEF Major Works Fund, Iceland Music Fund, Artists’ Salary Fund, and Reykjavík City Grant.
